SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 579,609, dated March30, 1897'. Application filed October 18, 1895. Serial No. 666,086. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANTON SCHROEDER, of St. Paul, Ramsey county,Minnesota, have invented certain Improvements in Invisible Hinge-Hangersfor Storm-Sash and Screens, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in hinge-hangers for stormwindow-sash and screen-windows, its object being to provide simplefittings of cheap construction which may be stamped out of sheet metal,can be applied to any window-frame without marring' the same, are betterconcealed from view than the ordinary fittings, and to which the sashcan be easily attached either from within or without the window.

To this end my invention consists in the features of constructionhereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure1 is a perspective View of a window-frame and the storm-sash connectedthereto by my improved fittings. Fig. 2 is a detail of the sash, showingthe hook member of the hanger. Fig. 8 is a perspective detail of thehanger, the parts being in engaging position. Fig. 4: is a perspectivedetail of the hook member. and 6 are details of the pintle or gudgeonmember; and Fig. 7 is a detail of the edge of the sash near the top,showing the part cutaway to fit to the hook member.

In the drawings, A represents the windowframe; B, the hook members ofthe fittings, which are secured to the inner face of the window-frameoutside the stop-bead 2. These members are fiat, formed either of sheetmetal or malleable metal, and having a hook 3 projecting from the outeredge in the plane of the member, and the point of the hook also beingsubstantiallyin line with the top edge of the member.

To the face of the sash D, adjacent the side edges near the top, aresecured the eye members C .of the fittings, also flat and formed out ofsheet or malleable metal. The edge of each member projects beyond theside edge of the window and is provided with a vertical slot 5, formingan eye and adapted to receive the projecting edge of the member B, thenarrow piece of metal at the upper end of the slot forming a gudgeon 8,which fits into the notch 4 of the. hook member and turns in it as abearing. The edge of the sash is cut away at 6, as shown, to furnish arecess in which projects the member B upon the frame.

The Window is secured in closed position in any suitable manner, and itsopen position preferably adjusted and limited by the hook 7. The partsare so adjusted that the sash cannot be lifted out of the window to bedisengaged from the hooks of the members B unless it is opened fartherthan the length of the securing-hook 7, the top rail abutting againstthe top of the window-frame and preventing the lifting of the gudgeons 8from the notches 4.

I claim- As an improved article of manufacture, the hinge-hanger forwindow-sash, consisting of the plane-surfaced hook and eye members, thehook member being secured to the inside of the window-frame, and havinga hook projecting in its plane, and serving as a gudgeon-bearing, theeye member being fitted to the outer face of the sash, and projectingbeyond the side edges of the same, and having a slotted opening toreceive the projecting edge of the hook member, the web at the up perend of the slot serving as a gudgeon and turning in the hook as ahearing.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ANTON SCHROEDER.
